My personal Substack

Preserving human spirit through comics. Publishes on Thursdays.

Impossible thoughts and complicated feelings, illustrated. With bonus musings on how to live a creative life.

On writing and life. Long-form musings on the nature of creativity and the essence of everything. Some poems, too.

A diary updated once or twice weekly, including a poem if things are going particularly poorly. Other texts - fiction, etc - and mystical gratitude for paid subscribers.

Classics, Memoir, History, More

Reading, Writing, Practicing, Stories. Figuring out the Good Life together.

Exclusive fiction too out-there for prime time, by the author of Fight Club. Writing lessons. Lurid back story.

This is where David Dark sets it all down.

Exploring ways to "suck the marrow out of life" with poetry, comics, and other nonsense.
